EDF offers a small range of tariffs for small business energy customers, with most built around fixed prices. Larger businesses can get tailored quotes and business energy procurement options through EDF’s large business energy team.
This tariff fixes your unit rates, business electricity standing charges and business gas standing charges for one to four years. It protects you from price rises and makes budgeting simple, but exit fees apply if you leave early.
This is a fixed tariff at a lower price, for businesses happy to manage their account entirely online. You pay by Direct Debit and must agree to have a smart business energy meter installed if you don’t already have one.
EDF offer a zero standing charge tariff, so you only pay for the unit rate of energy you use. It suits seasonal or part-time businesses, but unit rates are higher, so it rarely works out cheaper for sites with steady energy use.
EDF offers a certified 100% renewable electricity option backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs). It’s available alongside its fixed tariffs.
We’ve reviewed EDF’s small business terms and conditions, which form the business energy contract for its small business customers. Here are the key features to know:
EDF accepts Direct Debit, cash or cheque, and pay as you go for smart meters. Paying by Direct Debit gets you lower prices, and is required on Fixed for Business Online. If your Direct Debit stops, EDF can move you onto its higher non Direct Debit prices.
EDF sends a renewal statement at least 60 days before your fixed contract ends. If you don’t agree to a new deal, you move onto its Freedom for Business variable tariff, but you’re then free to switch business energy supplier with no exit fee, as long as your account has no debt.
EDF may run a credit score check before or during your contract. If the result is poor, it can ask for a security deposit, change your tariff or payment method, or end the contract. Deposits are normally returned after a year, with interest.
If you leave a fixed contract early, EDF charges an exit fee based on your remaining contract and any change in energy prices. You’ll also be moved onto EDF’s Extended Supply rates from the day you give notice until your switch completes. Extended Supply is separate from the variable tariff customers move onto when a contract ends normally, and it’s charged at much higher rates.
Unless EDF can read your smart meter remotely, you must send a meter reading every three months or pay a daily late reading fee. You must also agree to a smart meter being fitted, or EDF may move you onto a more expensive tariff.

EDF is the UK’s largest generator of zero-carbon electricity, and its generation assets help decarbonise the national grid. Its renewable portfolio is used to supply its green business energy tariffs.
Here’s an overview of how EDF generates electricity in the UK.
EDF runs more than 30 onshore wind farms in the UK, along with offshore wind at Teesside and Blyth. Its largest onshore site is Dorenell in Scotland.
EDF’s solar portfolio includes its first grid-scale solar farm at Sutton Bridge in Lincolnshire. It is also developing a major solar and battery project at Longfield in Essex, and installing rooftop solar at some of Tesco’s largest stores.
EDF has 350 MW of battery storage across seven UK sites, with a further 200 MW under construction. Batteries store surplus renewable power and release it when demand is high, which helps keep the grid stable.
EDF operates all five of the UK’s nuclear power stations in the UK, which supply about 12% of the country’s electricity. It is building Hinkley Point C in Somerset and is a shareholder in Sizewell C in Suffolk.
EDF publishes an annual fuel mix disclosure showing how the electricity supplied to its customers is generated. Here’s a summary of the latest disclosure:
| Fuel Mix | Supplied by EDF: |
|---|---|
| Coal | 5% |
| Natural Gas | 28.5% |
| Nuclear | 41.1% |
| Renewable | 23% |
| Other | 2.4 |
